At eHARDHAT we know that our customers rely on us as an important part of their business processes and record keeping. We take our responsibilities to our customers seriously, and the security and reliability of the software, systems and data that make up the eHARDHAT application are our top priority.
 
Security 
All information traveling between your browser and eHARDHAT is protected from eavesdroppers with 256-bit SSL encryption. The lock icon 
in your browser lets you verify that you aren't talking to a phishing site impersonating eHARDHAT and that your data is secure in transit. Our entire application follows industry-standard secure coding guidelines and is segmented by function to maintain security.
 
Firewalls
The eHARDHAT application - including your data - rests securely behind Cisco-powered firewalls. Sensitive information is stored using several layers of encryption in a segmented network with no public internet access.
 
Intrusion detection
Our software infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches. Our products run on a dedicated network which is locked down with firewalls and carefully monitored. While perfect security is a moving target, we work with security researchers to keep up with the state-of-the-art in web security.
 
We protect your billing information.
All credit card transactions are processed using secure encryption—the same level of encryption used by leading banks. Card information is transmitted, stored, and processed securely on a PCI-Compliant network.
 
Reliability
The eHARDHAT infrastructure uses redundant storage and servers to keep the application and your data available in the case of hardware failure - and another set of servers and storage in a geographically separate datacentre in case our primary datacentre is made unavailable by a disaster or other disruption.  
 
Backups
All data is written to multiple disks instantly, backed up daily, and stored in multiple locations. Files that our customers upload are stored on servers that use modern techniques to remove bottlenecks and points of failure.
